LAMP ATTACHMENT.

QPEOIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 312,810, dated February24, 1885.

Application filed July 1, 18%4. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES P. BYNON and JAMES STEWART, Jr., ofYonkers, in the county of \Vestchester and State of New York,

haveinvented a new and Improved Lamp Attachment, of which the followingis a t'ull,clear, and exact description.

This invention has for its object to provide a cheap and convenientdevice to be attached to to lamps for holding the lamp'burner, or burnerand globe combined, thus obviating the necessity of removing the burnerand wick from the lamp while the lamp is being filled. Reference is tobe had to the accompanying i5 drawings, l'orminga part ot'thisspecification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorrespondingparts in all the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view of our invention. Fig. 2 shows the deviceattached to the 20 lamp for use. Fig. 8 is a plan view of a lampcollarprovided with a stud for holding the attachment in position for use.Fig. 4 isa simi lar view of a clasp-ring for holding the attachment, thering being adaptedto be applied to lamps already in use; and Fig. 5 is aperspective view 01' a modification.

A represents the attachment. This in most cases will be made in twoparts the main part A and the bow A The part A is bent to form the arma, downwardly-projectiug fold b, and lip 0. The bow A is riveted to theouter end of the arm a. as shown clearly in Fig. l, and the arm a isformed with the retaining-notch d. to receive the wick-spindle w of theburner T of the lamp U, as shown in Fig. 2. For lamps already in use, toapply the attachment A for holding the burner T, it is only necessary toslip the lip-c over the edge of the collar V of the lamp after theburner has been unscrewed,when the lip c and fold b will act against thecollar V and hold the arm a out in horizontal position, so that bysimply placing the spindle w in the slot (Z and the burner upon the bowA the burner will be held away from the lamp, as shown in Fig. 2, so asnot to interfere with the filling of the lamp.

In some cases for lamps already in use we, shall provide the ring B,(shown in Fig. 4,) which is a split ring made, preferably, of springmetal and formed with the Tstud e and loop f, either or both, to holdthe lip 0, the ring being adapted to be placed around the collar V ofthe lamp. For use with the T-stud e the lip 0 must be slotted to formthe claws c c, as shown in Fig. 1. These claws are not necessary withthe loop f, nor when the attachment is applied directly to the collar V.

When new burners are made to receive our new at tach ment,the collar 'Vwill have formed upon it or secured to it the T-stud g, or similar fixeddevice, as shown in Fig. 3, to receive and hold the lip c, or the clawsthereof, and when the attachment is made to be used es pecially with thestuds 0 g or loop f the fold 6 b may be omitted, if desired.

instead of riveting the bow A to the arm A, the bow and arm maybe madein one solid piece stamped from sheet metal, if desired, as shown inFig. 5.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1. As an improved article of manufacture,

a lamp attachment consisting of a bar having 7 a lip at one end forsecuring it to a lamp and a burner-support at its other end, as setforth.

2. The attachment A, composed of the slotted arm a, lip c, and bow A",substantially as described. 8o

3. The attachment A, composed of the arm a, fold b, lip c, and bow A",substantially as described.

4. The attachment A,forined with the claws c, in combination with a studformed upon or attached to the collar of thelamp, substantially as andfor the purposes set forth.
